Thelma and Louise Marathon and Half

The Thelma and Louise Marathon and Half is a running event in Moab, UT, held in the Behind the Rocks area. Distances offered include:

  • 50K
  • Marathon
  • Half Marathon
  • 15K

The courses pass near the towering red rock walls of Lone Rock, a site believed to have been used for religious ceremonies by the Ancestral Pueblo people that worshiped a mother deity. Runners can also see the maze of fins in the Behind the Rocks Wilderness Area and views of the La Sal Mountains.

Terrain on the routes includes sandy washes, technical doubletrack, and smooth jeep trails. The event is presented as a women's focused event and is framed around a girls weekend, with course design described as rugged and intended to match the event name.

Event materials include packet pickup times and location, a race guide, race maps, aid station information, cutoff times, driving directions, frequently asked questions, travel information, and cancelation information. Registration closes on Wed, Apr 22. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
